I have used the Dritz with success. It is the least expensive when you use a coupon as I did at Hancock Fabrics. I really like 505 and it comes in 2 sizes.
Good luck

I started using basting spray about 6 years ago. I don't have a favorite basting spray, I use the cheapest I can find. I used a coupon at JoAnn and bought June Taylor brand, 505 and Sulky KK2000. I like them all. Try not to breathe it... open all doors and windows. Spray and leave the room for a few minutes. The over spray is a good reason to quick mop your floor. If you have carpet, put down a drop cloth to catch it. It's sticky... and it doesn't stop being sticky unless you wash it off. Diluted dish soap takes it right off. Never had a problem with it catching of fire, I don't smoke and there isn't an open flame anywhere near my sewing room.

If you want to shine up your sewing machine case, hoops and rulers, try Fornby's furniture polish. It cleans & shines plastic and wood without leaving a residue. It's very slick on wood floors, be careful. I tested it. I sprayed a little formby's furniture polish on a soft cloth, and applied it to the wood floor directly under the table, where no one walks. I couldn't push off the floor to slide my chair out. A little too slick. I buffed it off.

Thank you all for the info on the basting spray. I will not fear trying them now. I had not heard of Sullivans and my walmart doesn't seem to carry the sprays...i will keep looking.

Kind of funny....if I hadn't been reading on this board about basting sprays being flammable I would have totally not read the warnings on the can. And would have been using the spray in my basement sewing room....right next to the gas furnace and the gas water heater!

OMG Please be careful we don't need to lose a fellow quilter!

I like them all! My only problem - seeing as I like doing big quilts - is that the library frowns on the use of spray in their room with the big tables! Or at least I'm sure they would. Not going back to any other way!
